Why support the 2026 WIDA Annual Conference?

People talking and smiling at a conference sponsor booth.

The WIDA Annual Conference is the premier event for educators of Pre-K through grade 12 multilingual learners, giving educators from around the globe the opportunity to share best practices and discover innovative classroom strategies. The 2026 WIDA Annual Conference provides a variety of opportunities for educators to learn and connect under the theme, “Building Gateways to Colaboración.”

We anticipate 1,600 attendees to join us in St. Louis, Missouri. Attendees include local, district, and state administrators, general education teachers, ELL and bilingual teachers, instructional coaches, paraprofessionals, special education teachers, and more. In addition to the sponsor and exhibitor opportunities available for the in-person conference, virtual add-ons are available to reach an additional anticipated 1,000 virtual participants.
